Abstract:
Germinoma accounts for two-thirds of germ cell tumors and about 40% of all pineal region neoplasms. This case illustrates an unusual manifestation of metatastic germinoma with spread to ventricles and meninges without a pineal mass. A 24-year-old man presented with nausea, vertigo, and left facial droop. Cerebrospinal fluid aspirate showed malignant cells most suggestive of a germinoma.
